Abstract
A vapor supply apparatus, for use in a semiconductor device manufacturing process, provides a three-dimensional showerhead for supplying various precursors to a reaction chamber. The three-dimensional showerhead comprises an inverted-cup structure having double walls, an outer wall and an inner wall, with the double walls defining a first interior volume and the inner wall defining an exterior cavity, the inverted-cup structure further has a plurality of first inlet ports connected to the outer wall for introducing first precursors into the first interior volume and a plurality of first outlet ports at the inner wall for discharging the first precursor vapor from the first interior volume to the exterior cavity. The three-dimensional showerhead confines the precursor vapor inside the external cavity to modify the processed film characteristics.
